differ somewhat from your laboratory result due to normal variation.
Meter results can be affected by factors and conditions that do not affect

glucose value should agree with a laboratory measurement within
±20% most of the time under normal conditions. A result within
that range is considered accurate when testing with the OneTouch
Ultra Meter. However, results can differ by more than ±20% in
®
some situations. See the OneTouch
